Up for sale/sale is an authentic First Production Run example of the Featherweight Fox River from Bark River Knives, handcrafted in Escanaba, Michigan. Ground from ultra-clean Böhler Elmax powder metallurgy steel and clearly etched \"1st Production Run\" on the obverse ricasso, this inaugural-run piece delivers precision field-dressing and skinning geometry with zero hand fatigue.
